in the world? can sarah palin convince america she can lead the nation? tonight we will talk no spin policy with the governor. bill: you think obama is weak? do you think it's possible for victory in afghanistan? >> i do. it has to be. bill: are you comfortable with china owning a trillion dollars worth of u.s. currency? also, new information about the assassin hasan who killed 13 people at fort hood. geraldo has been investigating. >> you're hoarding gold in your basement is what you're doing? >> not in my basement. bill: glenn beck has financial advice for us. can't wait for that. caution, you're about to enter the no spin zone. "the factor" begins right now. [captioning made possible by fox news channel] bill: hi, i'm bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. fact checking sarah palin is this evening's "talking points memo" and i'll keep it short because we have a major policy interview with sarah palin this evening. did you know the associated press, america's largest news wire service used 11 reporters to check the accuracy of sarah palin's new book "going rogue." 11. barack obama

bitten by edward and bella's love. >>> good morning, america. >> good morning. it is saturday, november 21st. we're joined by the senate health care bill. >> that's like the new member of the team. >> i'm kate snow. bill weir. senators getting ready to vote on a rare saturday. tonight, they vote on whether to continue the debate on the health care reform bill. or let it die. the issue got really personal this week, amid confusion over those new guidelines for screenings of breast and cervical cancer. we're going to talk to one senator whose wife survived breast cancer. he has real concerns about all this. >>> also coming up, a terrifying scene caught on a surveillance camera. that's a window washer, plunging eight stories from above. and living to tell the tale. he had a safety rope that was just short enough to avoid certain disaster. walked away with a broken pinkie finger. we'll talk about him. >>> also, the latest in our coast-to-coast search for america's best bites. ron claiborne went in search for the best meals on wheels. tastiest food cart cuisine, which is all the rage in big

prize winning columnist and best selling author tom friedman. >> what worries me about america today, charlie, is that we are produces suboptimal solutions to all our big problems. whether it is called health care. whether it's called financial regulation, whether it's call debt, whether it's called energy and climate. where asa because it has an authoritarian system run by engineers, not lawyers, can actually order through awe tore -- author toreian means in many case morse optimal solutions. >> rose: we turn to the middle east with two respected experts and authors eugene rogan and stephen cohen. >> people in the arab world who have continued to really hope to see a new dawn where they might take command of their own future and what not are finding themselves more powerless than ever. and there's a deep sense of malaise particularly afr the war in iraq. that really has been radicalizing politics. making people feel like they could actually make a difference with the ballot. >> the united states needs to say to the world we have to solve the problem of our ntinuing confrontation wit

america foundation, and columnist elliss. and i'm jon scott. fox news watch is on right now. in case you haven't heard, sarah palin's new book, "going rogue" hit book stores this week. she made the rounds talking with a select media heavy weights, oprah, barbara walters, sean hannity and gretta van susteren and not everybody including a columnist thought she deserved this attention. >> she's a joke. got serious problems in the country. >> and the sour notes didn't end there. most of the negative views coming from left leaning media groups. our fox news dynamic poll asked whether or not she's treated fairly by the press. >> 31% think she's being treated fairly. whopping 61% think she is not being treated fairly. or treated, unfairly i guess i should say. why is she still a lightning rod? >> david brooks isn't a liberal, but his attitude captures the elite media towards sarah palin, ut it's undisguised contempt, she hits the hot button. she's got red state more rays and likes hunting and fishes and on and on and on and the beauty of this, what this demonstrates to me there is justice in th

are going to vote on a bill which to me the people of america don't like. and you know who doesn't like it the most? seniors. you know why? they're concerned. they know medicare is being -- is going broke, and by the year 017, there will be $500 billion of cuts in medicare. and yet, the money that's being cut from medicare isn't being used to save medicare. it's to start a whole new program that's going to cause americans who have insurance to pay more. it's going to cause people that don't have any insurance to make it harder to get, or if they go to an emergency room, have to pay more, that bill is going to be higher. all because of what i believe is an irresponsible piece of legislation that is going to be a huge weight on our american economy at a time when you have 10.2% unemployment. but i see the senator from nevada has -- he has a similar copy of the bills next to him and he may want to chime in on what he is seeing in his home state and what he is hearing from people who live in nevada and the small businesses as well as the hospitals and providers. mr. ensign: if the senator w

us on. not seeming to understand what it is that built up america's economic system. the free enterprise principles, the shrinkage of government, not the expansion, to allow the private sector to grow and to thrive. and to do what it does best. and our families, to keep more of what they earn so they can reinvest and prioritize instead of government doing it for them. which is a step toward socialism. so some of the steps we're taking economically right now, scare the heck out of me. bill: do you think he's smart? >> i think he's very smart. boeup -- bill: on sneft do you think -- honest? do you think he's honest? >> he has told us some things in the campaign. he has told us some things early on in his presidency that have not come to fruition. he was all about positive change. and i and i think a lot of americans are believing that the change that he's ushering in isn't necessarily positive. bill: a lot of people are very nervous about him now. he's not having a good time in the white house now. you pointed out his lack of experience. you don't have that much experience. you

of america, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. the presiding officer: the clerk will read a communication to the senate. the clerk: washington, d.c, november 21, 2009. to the senate: under the provisions of rule 1, paragraph 3, of the standing rules of the senate, i hereby appoint the honorable patrick j. leahy, a senator from the state of vermont, to perform the duties of the chair. signed: robert c. byrd, presidet pro tempore. mr. reid: mr. president? the presiding officer: the majority leader. mr. reid: mr. president, on this saturday, the senate in one of its unusual sessions, it's very good to see one of the more senior members of the senate presiding over the senate. a lot of presiding is left to the more junior members, and it's indicative of the teamwork of the senator from vermont, one of the most senior members of the senate, the chairman of the judiciary committee, and someone who is always there when there is a need for something to be done, as is today to open the senate. i have such fond memorie

. it is pretty out of whack. glenn: he is an extremist! good night, america. the sixties were all about freedom. ♪ and now in my sixties, they are again. grandpa, are we there yet? i have the freedom to do what i want... and go where i want. grandpa, come on! freedom is what i like about my medicare supplement insurance. i can see the doctor i want, where i want, anywhere in the country. now your sixties can be a time of freedom again... with aarp medicare supplement insurance plans... insured by unitedhealthcare insurance company. because any doctor or hospital that accepts medicare... will accept aarp medicare supplement insurance. anywhere in the u.s. the freedom to do my own thing, without worrying about which doctor i can see. medicare covers only about 80%... of your part b healthcare costs. the rest has to come out of your pocket. but with an aarp medicare supplement insurance plan, you could save up to thousands of dollars... because it helps cover some of the out-of-pocket expenses... medicare doesn't. and only these medicare supplement plans... have the aarp name... and cover more p

that slimmer thing. we have a special hour. hello, america. i found out that the only people that will tell you the truth on what could happen and the only people that really know are friction authors. they have to know what is really going on so they can weave a story in that is believable. they will also tell you the truth. they have nothing to gain. one of my favorite fiction authors is here and we will spend an hour with him. i think you are going to hear truths that you don't hear very often. most days, i think our main worry is how is your job? you got your job still? the economy is a giant debt wierer's saddling on to our grandkids and the marxists in the white house and the people in washington who are supposed to be representing us, and especially as tough as times are now, now is not the time to take our eyes off of national security. i have several friends that are in special forces, and they have told me, and they have taught me history, history that we know being onto other side of the coin. our country in the past has infiltrated our enemy's borders, sowing the seeds of discontent

alaska governor, president obama's political group, organizing for america, is now waging war against her. now, according to abc news, they sent a letter to supporters asking for donations that will help them "push back against sarah palin who they call dangerous." it sounds loik president obama is -- like president obama is worried he may have some competition in the future. joining us with reaction it all of this, fox news anchor, analyst, kimberly guilfoyle and columnist s.e. cupp. ben nelson is going to go along with it. mary landrieu, according to jonathan karl, abc reporting, there is $100 million specific provision just for louisiana. i think she's gone. they bought her vote. prove me wrong. >> she got a much bigger bag to carry the loot. the $100 million on the taxpayers that we're going to have to pay to get this to go through. sean: can you imagine? they need her vote so bad they put in a provision just for louisiana. $100 million of your dollars. so the question is, is this not the moral equivalent of bribery? >> well, it is. it's pretty dirty stuff. but i'm hoping that -- ben

is on the rise in america. a stunning new report says 49 million people in this country including 17 million children have trouble getting enough food last year. i'll speak with the agriculture secretary, tom vilsack. we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm wolf blitzer. you're in "the situation room." >>> this week hearings and investigations began into the massacre of 13 soldiers at ft. hood, texas. the number one question, why didn't anyone in charge see it coming? i spoke about that with congressman pete hoekstra, he's the ranking member of the house intelligence committee. congressman, thanks very much for coming in. i know you're getting ready to catch a flight. are you satisfied with the answers you're getting so far from the executive branch of the u.s. government whether the pentagon or the administration, the army, as far as this investigation is concerned? >> no, wolf, i'm really not. and i think i probably share some of the same frustrations that senator lieberman has. i applaud the senate for holding public hearings. i hold them -- i applaud

for debate. how many people in america know that the reason we are here is because the republicans don't even want to bring the bill to the floor for debate and amendment. while, that's their right under the rules of the senate is their right. they can filibuster, deily, obstruct. they can say no. but just as surely as that is their right it is our responsibility as democrats to move this bill forward. i would remind my colleagues on the other side of the ogle that last year voters overwhelmingly voted for barack obama to lead changes, to make changes, and one of the changes he campaigned so hard for most changes in the health care system. and just as surely voters elected democrats to majorities, big majorities in the house and senate to do the same thing so it's our responsibility to lead. and that's what we are doing now by bringing this bill to the floor. we are taking another giant step toward fulfilling the mandate, the mandate the people of this country gave to president obama and the democratic party last november to undertake a comprehensive reform of america's health care system. an

to the most people, as a place to reinforce the strength of america, so that people could be patriotic and feel confident, that we were in the race, and we could also launch our own rocket, just like the russians. >> you'd think a building that represented so much that was great about america would be considered an historical treasure. yet it came surprisingly close to being torn down. that and more when we return. [whistle blowing] visit... >> the railroad companies built their terminals in order to show off the strength, the power of their companies. this building is a symbol of the speed and the power, and the success of the railroads and the railroad companies that owned them. >> but by the 1950s, the nation's new highways made traveling by car more popular. and flying was really taking off. it looked like the end of the line for passenger railroads. in the 1960s, proposals were made to tear down grand central. but jacqueline kennedy onassis, president john f. kennedy's widow, came to the rescue. she helped save the beautiful building. today, the emphasis is on preservation and re

, there are parts of the country that do not, particularly in rural america, if you want to sign of for broadband, there are literally no options at all. that is about 10% of the country, and that is an issue that we will be trying to address as part of this plan. second, there is an adoption challenge. in the bulk of the country that does have access to broadband, the percentage of americans that do not use it is too high. generally across the country, it is about 40% of americans who do not use broadband, do not sign up for broadband, and more troubling, and in certain communities the percentage is closer to 60% or 65%. among low-income americans, among elderly, in rural america, among our seniors, and that is a real challenge. the costs of not being on our broadband infrastructure are growing in our digital economy. the third thing they asked us to look at is making sure we have a strategy so that broadband helps us succeed on a whole series of national priorities that are important to our country. education, health care, energy, public safety, and each of these, making sure we have the right

talked constantly about energy independence for america. these are not free market conservatism, that's reactionary, that's lou dobbs. i question where she is. it could be that as kim said she was playing a role on the campaign and that was her job to go out and say those things, but i'd like to know if she really believes that stuff. >> hold on a second. kim, i've got to read something to you, david hasanni wrote this in the denver post. your reaction to it. these days where you fall on the crucial issue of sarah palin tells the rest of us all we need to know about your character. you are either a, a scum sucking terror lobbying elitist, or b, a radical tea bag loving simpleton. now, kim, i think that's two sharply drawn love or hate. >> do you think? >> i do think it's too sharply drawn. i think there's no nuance in that and i think her relaunch puts her in the middle, not just love and hate. >> look, i think that that's what she is trying to do with this because-- and i think that what's so fascinating is it was written by a writer, one of the reasons that sarah palin is such a lig

and this friday we put them in perspective with air america's anna marie cox with nate silver of fivethirtyeight.com and former governor eliot spitzer all alive and together in our studio. weird, right? >>> we begin with the countdown in d.c. 24 hours from right now, we should know whether or not the senate is moving on health reform. that vote is expected at 8:00 p.m. tomorrow night. why 8:00 p.m.? because that is roughly 72 hours from the time that senate democrats unveiled the bill on wednesday night and posted it online. one of the republican demands about health reform was that no debate could happen until everyone had 72 hours to read the bill. another one of those republican wishes the democrats inexplicably granted even though it earned them no republican votes in return. despite republican threats, though, the bill will not be read aloud on the senate floor this weekend. republican senator tom coburn has given up that threat. had the republicans won on that one, too, there would have been probably a vote at sometime around 2:00 a.m. on monday morning. that will not happen. this, it seem

challenges facing america's future. and additional funding is provided by the followg supporters -- >>> hello and good evening. i'm daljit dhaliwal. in the international chess game of iran's nuclear program, it was six world powers that made a move today. delegates from the united states, britain, france, germany, russia and china met in brussels, belgium, and turned up the heat on iran. they didn't discuss the sanctions, not yet anyway, but that possibility served as a backdrop for today's meetings. the issue is iran's nuclear ambitions. tehran says its uranium enrichment program is for peaceful purposes only, but other countries worry it gives iran the capability of making an atomic bomb. despite some optimism in recent weeks, iran now seems to be rejecting a plan to have its uranium enriched outside the country. the delegates in brussels urged iran to reconsider, and hence the talk by president obama and others this week about the possibility of new sanctions. what kind of measures and when, that is our "lead focus" tonight. weeks after iran disclosed the existence of this once-secret nucl

america's domestic needs while attempting to reshape america's image abroad? >> well, that's a really good question, alex. and celinda lake is a good friend and i respect her a great deal. it is tough when you're trying to balance tough international problems with tough domestic problems. but, you know, look. the economy is linked. you know, our greatest trading partner ten years ago was mexico. our biggest nation was spain. now both those categories are taken by china. we have to deal with china. we're exporting cars there. we need to have a good economic relationship with the chinese. so, you know, you can't fault them him for taking this trip i don't think. >> john, you got one hand americans want economic recovery. on the other hand they're not happy with big government spending. what does the president have to do to right the economy and get his approval numbers back up? >> well, that's a very good question. my piece of advice to the president which i know he won't take is work with republicans. they have a lot of good ideas on how to get more bang out of the buck from the private sec

of the post-racial rebate. the true thing is what we are moving towards is a multi-racial america. if you look at the compensation and the rainbow or the gumbo or the mosaic of america, the 2010 census is critically important. is going show an ever-changing picture towards a nation that, by the time we get to 2045 or 2050, won't have a majority ethnic group. that is a fundamental reality, that that is this course and that is the path that we are on as a nation. so, i don't think we... we have to be concerned. and i think reverend jackson addressed this, about the twisting of the youth -- several other speakers did -- the twisting of the use of the word race where people say you are playing the race card and raising racial issues, it is racial injustice and racial dis parties we have to seek, to address, and to correct, and i think we have an obligation as a nation, because if we don't address it, the past and the future, is fraught with even more difficulty. imagine that in ten short years, by 2020, half -- half -- of the high school graduating seniors in america will be black, they'll be lati

. it was during these unsettled times in the texas heartland that america's most graphic horror film was released, "the texas chainsaw massacre." three months later robert kleasen arrived in the same city telling his own wild stories. the local community were impressed by the newcomer who seemed to be a genuine, all-american hero. >> when i met him, he claimed to have been a korean war veteran fighter pilot who shot down a number of aircraft in korea. >> he always claimed to have been a cia operative. >> he was also in the french foreign legion. >> in addition to claiming he had two or three ph.d.s, he spoke a half dozen languages fluently. >> he claimed to be part of the operation in the bay of pigs. >> he claimed to have been responsible for the assassination of shea guevara. >> he also claims to have gotten court-martialed for flying under bridges. >> he was very good at convincing people about anything. he could tell stories where you couldn't follow up or track it. >> kleasen fit into the texan community. he was an avid hunter and he became a baptized mormon. but it wasn't long before cracks

school turned into the horrific scene of a throat slashing. a violent attack at the young america works charter school in northeast. it brought the school day to a standstill and police rushing to the campus. fox 5's maureen umeh is down in the newsroom working the story for us now. >> reporter: it wassen especially violent -- it was an especially violent day. a student is in the hospital while parents and neighbors real over the attack. the fight began here in a hallway inside the young america works charter school in northeast. bloodstains give some idea of the extent of the violence, a shock be site anywhere but especially inside a school. anthony's younger brother is a student. >> this is my first actually hearing about a serious matter going on in the school. >> reporter: two teenage boys got into a loud fight around 1:30. punches were thrown. then witnesses say the 11th grade boy pulled out a knife and slashed the other teen. the victim was stabbed in the neck and may also have been cut on part of his face. witnesses say blood was everywhere, covering the victim's clothing. they s

, that america can achieve unprecedented health insurance reforms that expand coverage, reduce cost and provide stability for those with existing coverage. we accomplish these goals without posing long term risk for taxpayers. it was not a perfect bill. we never see perfect bills around here, quite frankly. i can honestly say, i will fight hard, so that our final product will be more closely resembling the common sense deficit-reducing plan we produced in the senate finance committee. at times like this, i think it is very important to remember the very reasons we began this debate all together. small businesses, madame president, are reaching the breaking point financially because of the rise in health care costs. nationally, our economic recovery will only be slowed by the inflationary cost of health care. taxpayers and the insured are baring the cost of medical treatment for the uninsured at the most expensive point of delivery, the emergency rooms. it's a model that waits until people get sick rather than focusing on the wellness, prevention and good management of illness that keeps people

within just hours. the promise? it's going to improve health care in america. but the forbes team found something tucked inside they say will lead to more rationing. who's right? hi, everybody. i'm david asman. welcome to "forbes on fox." steve forbes, elizabeth mcdonald and neil weinberg. steve, you're concerned about a little commission that's hidden in this. which one? >> it's about payments for a costly procedure, another form of rationing. they have this in england, a thing called nice, national institute for clinical and health incidents. david: an ironic being a crow him in. -- acronym. >> the state of washington has something similar. but they banned things like scoping your knees for arthritis, m.r.i.'s for breast cancer and things like that. so government can restrict health care supply, ration it, but it can't increase the supply. david: and neil, they do it in england so probably they'll do it here if we get national health care. >> i can't help but notice that the people harging most for the scare tactic that rationing will get between you and your doctor, these evil bureau

companies. i think the failure to pass a bill is not good for america. it isn't good for any of us in congress or those standing for re-election. >> as for a potential gop vote, senator reid said he has had a recent conversation with moderate republican olympia snow. conservative republicans have long been a lost cause. >> no senator who votes for cloture on the motion to proceed tomorrow, i think, can with a state face contend that they have not somehow embraced the bad policy contained in this bill. there's nothing here to like, and i think what we need to do is kill this bill. >> lots to talk about tonight with senator jeff merkley, democrat of oregon. senator, thank you very much for your time tonight. >> oh, it's great to be with you. >> don't you wish you were one of the holdouts? things are going pretty good for them, isn't it in. >> well, it's 60 members and you need 60 votes. there's always going to be a few folks who are coming to the decision at the last minute. that's where we are now. >> how does it feel to be a loyal democrat in line with the party from day one on som

is this is a jobs bill. this is about creating jobs, and that is what america wants today. this is about giving you in the country the kind of certainty and predictability you need. you need to know what is expected of you. you need to know if you make those investments in alternatives that there is going to be a demand, a market. finally, there is this deep belief that this is the moral and ethical thing to do. i had the privilege of running the e.p.a. for eight years and worked with the world's leading environmental engineers. they are great and have solved so many problems for our country. but the truth of the matter is there isn't one among them who can reverse sea level rise once it starts to occur. we have to start to take the steps today so we can give future generations the same kind of opportunities and hope that prior generations have had, and i think we will do it. it will not be easy. it will not happen without all of your help in whatever form that takes. we have a lot of people to educate. we have people to educate not just in congress, but in towns and cities across the country. but

in addressing the needs of mainstream america. just yesterday the ffib release add statement opposing the bill, the national federation of independent businesses saying that enactment of it would make health care for small businesses more expensive than what they can afford today. a disaster for small business is how nfib describes it. now, that's coming from a group that supported the senate finance legislation and has been a constructive voice throughout the debate, so that ought to grab our attention. furthermore, in the finance committee, i insisted that c.b.o. provide an affordability analysis of what a silver plan would like like, for example. and i used that analysis to do my own modeling on all of the plans. it helped me to assess premium affordability and render an informed evaluation about the approach overall. for the measurable force now, the c.b.o. has yet to address the question of a affordability. so how do we go inured this legislation considering when we don't even understand some of the most fundamental aspects of this legislation? none of us can tell with adequate specificit

for america. it isn't good for any of us in congress or those standing for re-election. >> by late this afternoon, landrieu, who demanded 72 hours to study the bill before casting procedural votes was still undecided. >> i haven't made a final decision, because i literally have been, except for this one and a half hours i have been here, literally reading the bill, and that's going to continue until about 6:00 or 7:00 tonight. >> most believe lincoln and landrieu will both move to vote forward. reid has 58 committed yes votes, but if he falls just one vote of -- one vote short of 60, it likely means senate democrats will not be able to produce a bill this year. bret: it is interesting. this saturday night voting seems popular up there. >> 8:00 p.m., makes them look like they're working. bret: carl, thanks. the latest fox news poll shows most people still oppose healthcare legislation currently being considered by congress. 51% are against it right now, down a bit from october. only 35% favor it. just one in six feel their family will be better off under healthcare reform. 37% say w

moore starts us off with the latest from capitol hill. >> god bless america. >> reporter: in cities across the country, more protest about health care reform. a rare saturday session leading up to a critical vote. not on an actual bill, but to go ahead and debate the bill. >> why would anyone be afraid in the greatest society in the world to debate health care? what are they afraid of? >> reporter: democrats had not one vote to spare. she will not stand for a bill with a public option. >> i am opposed to a new government administered health care plan. >> reporter: republicans are opposed to the cost and the size. >> this big thing, this monstrosity -- >> we just need one. not many. just one democrat who will come here and say i am pro-life. if we don't stand together tonight, this bill will ratically expand abortion and i can't live with that. >> reporter: the obama administration said it urges quick action on the landmark bill prodding the senate to keep on moving with the holidays around the corner. democrats want to start the debate after the thanksgiving break. the president is

for the world to recover. in the way china does things and the way america does things. are we headed towards that change? >> no, i don't think we are any time soon because what you're talking about is fundamental structural reform and the best that the president came home with is a deeper understanding where these two countries can play out against each other. they both need each other. i think there's a common mistake of fallacy out there that somehow america goes on its hands and knees and china buys the treasury bonds and that's all there is to it. it's much deeper and much more complicated and in many ways much more equal than the critics would have you believe, but, substantially, the long-term economic growth sustainable in both countries. americans have to save more and china has to spend more because, ultimately, a china that plays its role as consumers is what everybody needs. >> diane, this is that global rebalancing. we've heard the treasury secretary talk about it and the president talk about it and it means that the united states can't be the consumer engine for the rest of the

some -- they're the ones that are the illegal. i mean, remember america was sold. i'm not trying to be racist but that's just the truth. and i'm tired of hearing the rhetoric and evilness and trying to get people to believe that. and as far as the republicans taking over, their days are numbered because they're evil -- not evil. they're selfish and greed. and the real american people are tired of that and trying to keep everyone else down. p host: we'll leaf it there. caller: hello. i want to talk about an issue that apparently nobody wants to discuss in the politics and that's the issue of race. as far as i'm concerned, the democratic party is the ant-white. they will not do anything for the white middle class that i can see. and they had this former secretary of labor, robert rice making a comment last year that none of the stimulus money should go to a white person. that was disgraceful for him to say that. but there's no condemnation coming from the democrats or even from the republicans. they both sort of spoke out about that kind -- should have spoken out about that kind of

. i think the failure to pass a bill is not good for america. it isn't good for any of us in congress or those standing for re-election. >> the session starts this morning but the senate vote isn't expected until about 8:00 eastern tonight. the vote is not on the bill, itself, but to avoid a filibuster and get debate going on the bill that majority leader harry reid put in place. the bill aims to reshape the country's health care system over the next decade. this was the scene at the university of california berkeley yesterday as students clash with campus police over fee increases at the school. the 32% increase coupled with budget cuts have angry students at campuses across the state protesting. 41 people who barricaded themselves inside a building at the uc berkeley campus were arrested. the board of regents at ucla approved the fee hikes this week saying the state government cannot meet the university's funding needs. >>> a woman lost control of her car, plowed into a crowd outside a middle school. it happened yesterday near birmingham, alabama. the 67-year-old driver hit nine kid

is not good for america, it isn't good for any of us in congress or those standing for re-election. >> reporter: another democratic senator who hasn't formally announced her vote is mary landrieu of louisiana. aides released these photos to cnn, showing her working with staff, going through the 2,000-plus-page health care bill. one thing she'll find is this, a sweetener democrat leaders added to help persuade landrieu -- $100 million in medicaid assistance she's been trying to get for her home state of louisiana, still struggling from katrina. that medicaid money is something that the whole delegation from louisiana and also the republican governor has -- they've all been pushing for for a long time. and this is i think good timing politically for the president and democratic leaders to give them that $100 million in money for medicaid for louisiana. now, betty, landrieu still says she has concerns about many aspects of her party's bill, the overall cost, the fact it includes a government-run insurance plan, but she does seem to be leaning towards agreeing with the democra
